1t was the original intention of Palestine
Commandery to enter for the prize drill,
but it was found almost impossible for suf-
fcient number of knights to leave, and it
was given up. This commandery has an
enviable record, as it carried off the honors in
four cut of five drills Next year Savannah
win probably have the Grand Commandery,
and if so, Palestine No. will compete with
its old time vigor.
The announcement is made that the asy
lum OF Palestine Commandery will be open
from 2 to Z o'clock this AFTERNOON so that
all Knights can obtain their uniforms.
